I would liken it to this: Christ is the way to heaven, but you have to walk on that way to get there.

I saw the documentary and the lifestyle is appealing.
Basically Christian communism like the leader of the colony said.
The one thing that seems a bit scary is that if you want to leave, you would be starting with two empty hands. I thought all the people shown were very sympathetic, but trust the beeb to make an issue about feminism and the one person who was not happy.

The programme showed more than one person unhappy with the community, I can fully understand how it is difficult for the children to accept the community lifestyle. I think its fair comment for the beeb to make about the roles of the women. While I do find community life appealing I did find some of the hutterite practises strange, like men and women eating separately, that is more cultural than biblical. Im seeking a community that is closer to biblical lifestyle than cultural lifestyle.

That is standard BBC media method, the journalists are taught to be logical, to present the positive, then the negative and then to sum up with a sort of legalistic dryness. As if there is some standard for everything that cannot quite be defined but that everybody knows about, when they hear it.
